The 'Right' Way to Do Lunges

[noangel888]

Thanks, these are the best. Now I won't get yelled at in class

[InsertName125]

Why is the word 'right' in quotes? Is he implying that this is really the wrong way to do lunges?

[xsingsthesorrow]

@InsertName125 no, it's just who says which way is the proper way to do it but when people say that you need to do lunges the right way they mean this way. It's quoted because people call it the right way as other people do it a different way which is not strictly wrong but it's not the best way to do it.

[TVsucks10]

person below is talking bout spot reduction, in other words he's a moron.

[solidarity2205]

Hey this exercise will not enlarge your butts and hips but in fact t will tone and reduce the size.

Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns! one a penny two a penny, hot cross buns, if you have no daughters give them to your sons, one a penny two a penny hot cross buns.

[apv5077]

What kind of lunges to democrats do?

[hazey58]

By far, one of the best demo's of the lunge! :o)

[Nihilanthe]

For months I have been doing it wrong... Damn it

[lordgeneral9]

thank you very much.

[atktdc]

will this exercise reduce my butt size....????????

[6blade66]

cheers for the helpful vid :)

[fernandotorres99mess]

7 people cant fucking do lunges

[Kubil6y]

add some weight big boy

[oNLi14MiChAeLjAcKsOn]

How many times or how many minutes do you do this in a day ? : )

[kiwimusume]

@oNLi14MiChAeLjAcKsOn I'm new to this move and my instructor has set me 3 sets of 8 on each leg (with a short break in between sets), to be upped once my muscles get used to it.

[aznboi4lyfbruh]

what muscle does this work?

[ZenoemenmeNick]

@aznboi4lyfbruh I thought hamstrings but i'm not sure.

[Mouse18e]

@ZenoemenmeNick Your quadriceps aswell.

[blaster132]

i did this around a football field

my legs were so sore i couldnt move them

[razberri4eva]

this helps a lot! way better than wii fit lol

but does this shape your hips and your butt or just hips?

[kiwimusume]

@razberri4eva Squeeze your butt as you do it for extra butt-working goodness.

[Yehwecan]

thank you <3

[ExoticExpressionsFit]

thanks, always need to know how to do it properly

[forestskog]

elevator not escalator - that clicked for me - thanks

[Metsada007]

Does the knee have to touch the ground when going down?

[Metsada007]

I was taking the forward steps further than in this video, now I know why it was so difficult.

[weathered79]

my biggest problem with lunges is i can't keep my balance is there help with that

[drshields1988]

@weathered79 do it with your shoulder against a wall, dont lean on the wall but use it to keep u balanced. or have a friend hold you gently

[kiwimusume]

@drshields1988 Yes! At my gym they have a pole...so I get to tell people that I hold onto a pole and move my body slowly up and down. :P

[digismurf]

I tend to hurt my knees when I do lunges, thanks for clearly showing the right and wrong way!

[PinkSandcastle]

This was really helpful! Thx!!

[2o1ocheeseballs]

oh. iv been doing it wrong. l0l (: thnx

[DRae7217]

Thanxx.bud.that.helped.alo.t!.­

[bsumiko]

Generally he gives good instruction; however, there are many ways to do lunges. That whole "don't let your knee go over your toes" thing is a myth. Everyone says that; however, check yourself when you walk up stairs - chances are your knee is over your toes. Also, if having the knee over the toe is so bad, then what about his BACK knee? His back knee is WAY over his foot.

Look at a tennis player lunging for a ball - his/her knee goes WAAYYY over his/her toe.

[WinterCocktail]

@bsumiko When you control your movement you work your muscles more intensely. And unlike natural movements or any sports, these types of exercise are supposed to sculpt your muscles. So maybe it's not completely wrong to bend the knee, but for more faster results you need to control.

[Lina0David]

awesome thnx

[shttysht]

thanks! i was doing it wrong all along T=T

[sourface116]

thanks



[darklordofspawn]

thanks

[crazy4ch0c0lat3]

thnx for sharing this :D

[cowjered]

why its flat now lol j/k

[TheRobkesl]

actually you do want a little forward lean... you should update this...

[blaster132]

i had to do this across my football field at school...in under 2 minutes

[CheapSteaks]

Can this make my thighs smaller?

[IDidntComeUpWithName]

@CheapSteaks Personally i have noticed that this is better Developer for leg balancing than the Squats. Squats Stress the quads+Thighs quite heavily in my case, and my Butt starts pointing out. In my opinion this is Better for inner muscules + Core , than the Squats,... So Answer is yes. It can make your thighs Smaller if u Follow a Good Eating lifestyle. Bodybuilder Milos Sarcev said nice things about this Movement too.

[sandman0302]

Gonna add this to my routine

already do

8x25 pushups, 8x25 curls, 8x1 minute planks, 8x10 squats, and 2-5 miles running every day, this will add great leg strengthening to my routine, thanks

[ErinTutorials]

@sandman0302 i bet youre trying to brag. I'll laugh when you pull something since youre not supposed to work out that much every day.. 2 hours a day at the MOST. that seems like than that.

[sandman0302]

@ErinTutorials I have no reason to brag to be honest, what good would it do here anyway

[Ch3ls3yxxSubs]

nah Im in duniden doing a Bcom

[bizzaro0]

many thanx

[xRhythm]

This is really great stuff. Gonna add this to my routine. For beginners do 8-10 reps (each leg) 3 sets with about 10-15 seconds rest. Do this every 2-3 days and enjoy some results. Have fun.

[Zenshra]

@xRhythm

Thank you for sharing this. As a beginner to working out, I've been looking for a good pace to work at for this exercise. Decided to start tonight.

[CollardPeople]

thanks Dude, thats how ive been doing them to the Tee!! years ago i'd use weight but its not needed, i also do widergrip chinups, basscially i circuit train, been lifting since 1978:) use to bench 180lbs 3s and squat 265lbs back n my 30s, not im lean and mean and a Vegan:)

[CollardPeople]

[shaswords]

[uniballpenman]

@brunettehoney0 It's been a year. You got it?:)

[pratinus]

i was doing some dumbbell lunges yesterday and pulled an upper ab muscle pretty bad, at least that's what I think happened. I'm hoping it will heal up good as new, but I won't be doing any ab exercises real soon. So word to the wise, be careful doing lunges....

[SugarTomAppleRoger]

Great. Nice work.

[HMZinSPOOKY]

This is really helpful, thx :)

[perfumina]

thanks Jacob, truly helpful!

[myspacecommnfansite]

do u recomend to leave the muscleat reat for 24 hours ... like when lifying weights???

[pimpingoo]

yes it is very important to let the muscle rebuilds or the muscle rebuild

[myspacecommnfansite]

thanks man .... i been doing them for a while now .... i really recomend people to let the muscle rest .. specialy whit this one .... the day after u cant even seat ... lol....!!

[bjbearorl]

I wish he would demonstrate in more close fitted shorts or underwear so we can see the payoff for these exercises.

[Erniethenoob]

fuck i did 37 and i cant walk

[KILLA23456789]

how many times do you suggest i do these a day/night

[Archaicification]

over 9000

[diamonddonut]

Thank You

[altenburg423]

5 stars

[montrealNH]

you're so fine... ay papi

[alovelornangel]

ooo he's kinda cute! you can teach me lunges anytime, mister!

[Jahkillian]

do you put most of the weight on the front or back leg?

Which leg do you push off?

[MutsuKazuma]

there are both way you actually have most of your weight on the front leg, you can either push off wit hthe front leg and go back, or you put your back behind you and then push forward, the lifting of your leg while going backward should be exaggerated so that the foot is kept away from the ground, that's just more effective, try out both it's just different for your muscles and coordination

[mkennedy828]

great instruction, 5 stars

[retardeedvillage]

when u have weight should you still have your knee touch the ground?

[OgnarPliskin]

How many should I do a day to get a firm ass?

[subzeromind]

Really, I do about 3 sets of 20 reps every other day and I have a firm ass.

[akshayrelan]

Please send a Pic at lucky_me12 at yahoo

[Golfgtiguy]

Once a week is good about 5 sets of 7 to 10 reps .Holding dunbells with weight will help ..

[fritstoofvlees]

@OgnarPliskin over 9000!!!!!!!!

[raidenkurosaki345]

@fritstoofvlees XD 

[slg3x6]

"Stop, drop, shut 'em down open up shop....."

[yayitstaps]

that's what i thought when he said it too. i was like, lol.

[GiggzFreestyler]

yes lol

[RandomentalTV]

are my knee caps supposed to hurt? please respond.

[secreticelandprod]

i wouldnt think so man. like the dude said below you, its mainly a stretch for ur butt. im not saying u do, but its possible u have bad knees. like me, when i go running and afterwords they really hurt. but i wouldnt think that ur knees should hurt. if u want a response from the guy himself, u should probably message his youtube account

[RandomentalTV]

I have that same problem with running as well. After a while, my knee caps hurt and if I keep running disregarding the pain, I end up losing cartilage quicker.

[secreticelandprod]

yah i dont know about this stuff really at all. if it is serious, you should see a doctor

[Grumme3]

Do you guys have some good running-shoes? Most of the time, that is the problem. If you bought them at your local supermarket they aren't good, they just cause your more pain than stability when running.

[mafm05]

when it comes to running choose either nike or asics...good support. buy 2 shoes and alternate it everyday. may hurt ur budget but its my best advice of rescuing your knees

[MusikalDisklexia]

Your joints are never supposed to hurt while working out. You're doing something wrong.

[cartman102]

hahah halarious [guy below me]

[cameltoehunter]

how do i make my butt more desireable for the ladies other than sticking a $100 bill on it.

[Cujothechosen1]

write "I'm a doctor" on it.

[tarzanman11]

hahahahha lol.

[edd1055]

Stick $200 on it :D

[Kaal667]

@cameltoehunter funny how its the other way around for ladies. first they get a desirable butt, and then men stick $100 bills in it.

[lraham]

@cameltoehunter

glaze with chocolate

[hempenasphalt]

@cameltoehunter first of all, take off the 100 dollar bill it makes you look desperate.

[cameltoehunter]

@hempenasphalt -your right, perhaps a fifty will do.

[hempenasphalt]

@cameltoehunter If you insist, 75 to be safe.

[abhinavdua]

thanks man..i hard a hard time doing it the "right way" today at the gym.

[TWillz17]

thanks, man i been doing it wrong the whole time lol i wasnt doing the up and down thing i was more like the escalator instead of elavator thanks man!

[beccaismeee]

ok, so my legs are thin and my butt is quite small.

i dont want to loose weight on my legs - will this exercise loose leg weight cos i dont want that to happen.

also, will it make my butt bigger, cos im trying to make my bum bigger and more toned

[Zyphamon]

Imagine a lake. take a bucket and scoop out some water from the lake. Does the lake have a hole in it where the water used to be? no. The decrease in the lake's water level was shared, not just in one spot. This is how fat loss works.

This exercise will work your upper lower body (butt and thighs).

Remember to eat more lean protein (chicken, turkey, fish, tofu) as opposed to bad carbs (white bread and sweets) in order to help your body's muscles grow.

[Zyphamon]

also, assist your body by consuming protein consistently. I'm meaning little meals every 3 hours or so. Assuming you have a full time job, have a light lunch, and eat granola or some other high fiber high protein food during your breaks.

[iloveupapi07]

this will make me lose weight on my thighs or just tighten it?? i dont want my legs to get thin..i love the way they are...i just want to make them tight...is this helpful?? O.o Please sum1 tell me...

[tooonnes]

Yes, it is

[iloveupapi07]

tnx =)

[debbyluvsbud]

lol he makes it look soo easy! i hate lunges yet i love how they make my legs and rear look

[dd989]

Will this make my legs thinner ?!!

I've been asking this one all the videos and everyone always says " no".

[streamleazefishhouse]

it depends, if your a fatty then its likely to burn fat around your body, if your skinny the increase of muscle will make your legs more muscular. If your a guy you will grow muscle easier than if your a woman, as chicks really don't need to worry about getting "big" unless they are extreme body builders or on steroids. My guy opinion is that I'm not a fan of skinny girls. The chicks I've seen doing lunges in the gym have normally had nice bottoms and thighs probully helped by doing the lunges

[dd989]

Well I'm not a "fatty".. but I'm not the thinnest chick around. With that said, yes I'm a girl. My body mass index is 20.2 .. which isn't bad nor good, in my opinion... I think most of the weight is in my thighs and stomach .. But my stomach isn't bad at all. Pretty flat.

Thighs = yuck.

Anyways, thanks :)

[streamleazefishhouse]

I really enjoy lunges, they use the stabilizing muscles well and you can really feel your whole leg work aswell as the gluts. I think anyone can benifit from them. If I were you I wouldn't worry about getting "big". Women really do worry too much about look like a body builder and unless they are hormonally different from most they wont ,no matter how hard they try, after all most guys find it really hard.

[dd989]

seriously, whats your problem ?!

I got my answer as you can see and she/he gave me the answer and details I needed.

So stop being a b****

And why the hell do you even care? Jeez.

P.S Don't bother replying, if i see if its from you, I won't read it.

[Neil6000]

dd989:

Don't blow a gasket over a joke; you must be a complete psycho.

[uanimale]

i feel a burn in my ass when i do these.

[robbyam]

the way you said it made me lol, but yes, your supposed to feel it. it works out the gluteus maximus muscles. which will firm the butt.

[Machiasusama]

haha bullshit... normal cardio, a la arobics is far from the best way to loose fat...

[uniquegirlx]

thanksssssssssss

[mohisu]

Thanks for the exercise. You are good trainer.

I have two questions.

1- Will I lose fat on my butt?

2- Does this exercise strengthen my knee or weaken my knee?

Thanks

[coolkid10000]

1 - Yes, as it puts pressure and flexes the butt.

2 - It strengthens your knee because of the applied pressure on the knee

[boksertje]

1 - No, as flexing the muscle will not make you loose fat. Cardio will do that job

[coolkid10000]

actually, with the right amount of force, it does give the area muscle and therefore losing fat

[InsideOutAnus]

You can't target specific areas for fat loss; it's distributed evenly. All it's going to do is build up bulk in the area you're working out, which is the opposite effect that most people are aiming for.

That's not to say you won't burn anything off doing this, however.

[boksertje]

No then you're not losing fat, you're building some muscle. You can't burn fat locally on your ass by doing lunges, or burn fat locally on your abs by doing crunches. For burning fat you need to lift weight for a higher metabolism and do cardio

[iloveupapi07]

i like my legs.....i dont want them to get thin..... so ..are lunges right for me???

[VelvetKevorkian]

But I think the overall consensus is that muscle helps burn fat and strength training builds muscle. Therefore, strength training indirectly burns fat. You're not going to lose weight doing nothing but lunges but, yeah, when you couple strength training with your cardio or aerobics, you'll be getting stuff done.

[akathepker]

does this lose fat on the butt or wat..

i have a 3 inch big ass :O

i want that shit out so i can wear my pants underneath my ass

[Danwich]

You can't spot reduce, meaning if you work out a body part you won't necessarily lose fat from that area. To lose overall body fat you have to do cardio. But yes lunges are a great butt exercise.

[zicmupl]

I started to lunges but I don't feel my glutes when doing them but only quads ;/. What can I do wrong(I'm trying to do them the same as on this movie).

[Danwich]

You might have your back leg too far back. When you come down, your legs should basically look like this: _

_| |

[InsideOutAnus]

Limbo dancing, eh?

[jakeashelton]

What is the difference between your way, and KSAFitness' way of doing lunges?

[yesimatici01]

is made of protein.

also drink 2 liter of water.

there are many arguements whether it makes u lose weight or not.

the proven fact is that the more u drink water the more u will get rid of the excess water in ur body sounds weird doesnt it?

thats true u will get rid of the wastes and exess water..

ur complexion will look much more better, ur hair nails. sklin and so on.

water is the most important think. make it ur lifestyle that u drink 2 liters daily.

[yesimatici01]

the protein bar is not one of the best cause it consists only 10 grams of protein but tastes soo good (130 calories no additives)

i live in malta a tiny island soo i dont have much option but u can find protein bars 50 grams consting protein. anybody who is trying to lose weight never never stop taking protein; u can eat less but u have to take protein and the best way is to take shakes and powder as they have the most protein with least calories. dont forget ur cells, hair, nails everuthing

[yesimatici01]

and in addition to that i have been running 1 hour everyday for 2 years i dont have much fat on my inner tighs but because of too much cardio they became flabby loose and this exercise litreally saved my ass.

if u r thinking about dieting use HERBALIFE FORMULA 1 WITH FORMULA 3 u can take it instead of breakfast and dinner, it fills u up and very healthy/ im a health freak i was soo doubtful but after seeing great results on my friend i gave it a try. and im also taking herbalife protein bar

[yesimatici01]

hi this exerice works very good. i dont agree with some comments, when u build there muscles it wont look big but lean cause inner tighs are naturally lean u just look trimmed, i have been doing it for a week and perfect results i must say.

[xoICYRAINFALLxo]

i dont have already fat thighs, i know they're skinny but i really want that little bit of fat on the really inner upper thigh to go away, will this do it?

thanks~

[Shadowslamer]

You need to watch your diet and do cardio about 40 min to an hour 3 times a week in addition to this.

[xoICYRAINFALLxo]

thanks so much!

[bridobrido]

thanks for the tip

[florajie]

thanks for sharing =) i dun even have idea on what is lunges when ppl said it's good to get rid of thunder thighs. i dont wanna build muscle seriously, i want hot legs XD

[DavisTrixie]

The only way to get rid of fat on your thighs is to diet and do cardio. Working the muscle underneath fat will strengthen the muscle, it won't get rid of the fat.

In fact, if you do build muscle without losing the fat first, your thighs may appear even bigger.

[florajie]

thank u so much davis for your reply.

I am currently start eating half portion of everymeals already, i hope it works sooner or later for my stupid thighs. And i try to keep my day as active as possible by taking stairs instead of lift. Every1 let's ganbatte!!!!

[DavisTrixie]

Good for you, darlin'! I've found the fat started melting off just by jogging a couple days a week. (In fact, I called it "trudging," because I was so slow!) But seriously, I was shocked at the difference, an you might, too, especially if you're already eating better.

[florajie]

I never know jogging can slim thighs, i always had a impression that it'll build muscle then thigh will get bigger, i think i've to start doing like u too davis.

Now i need lose 3 more kg to ideal weight =)

Good luck to u : )

[Jerseymilk]

these will fire the ass muscles real good.

[everlands23]

THANKS FOR THE LESSON! Im terrible at lunges.

[moistpup]

wow , I would gay all over him.

[Candeeta4u]

haha what does that mean x
